Super excited to share an article I just wrote for the latest volume of @StanfordCrypto on building a real-time blockchain. Most serious blockchains in this space have excellent engineering teams, and it’s an honor to consider them our competitors. That said, I believe there

In 1985, David L. Mills introduced the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize computer clocks to the order of milliseconds. At the time, it seemed unnecessary, maybe even frivolous. It must have been hard to come up with even six applications that truly needed synchronized

We’re thrilled to welcome @0xSami_M, DevRel at @megaeth_labs to ETHIstanbul! 🎉 He’ll be talking about "Unapologetically Performant" pushing Ethereum performance to the next level. 📍Don't miss it.

I once had a middle school teacher explain the difference between being a nice person and being a kind person (the former being transactional and the latter being genuinely ‘good’). @NathanWorsley_ is a kind guy 🙂.

Lots of fun writing this article. Like much in crypto, it’s only after you redesign something from first principles that you realize how bloated the old systems were. Excited to share more about the tech and research behind MegaETH going forward!

confession-- I went a little rogue at the end and spent the last three weeks shilling my professor on @capmoney_, @GTE_XYZ, @noise_xyz, @Euphoria_fi and @Hop_Network.

Part IV: Real-World Applications Needing High-Performance Blockchains Week 12: Decentralized Finance Key Topics: - Performance demands of DeFi applications, including Automated Market Makers (AMMs), Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs), and lending platforms. - Role of low latency

Part III: Specific Optimizations in Blockchain Systems Week 8: Storage Layer Optimizations Key Topics: - Stateless client models to reduce state bloat and improve node efficiency. - Advanced storage optimizations, including state pruning and state compression. Assigned Reading:

Part II: Scaling Strategies: Layer 1 vs Layer 2 Week 5: Layer 2 Scaling Solutions Key Topics: - Introduction to Layer 2: rollups, state channels (plasma), and payment channels. - How Layer 2s offload computation and reduce congestion. Assigned Reading: -Kalodner, H., et al.

Part I: Foundations of Blockchain Performance Week 1: Blockchain Performance Metrics and the Trilemma Key Topics: - Introduction to blockchain performance metrics: throughput and latency. - Understanding the Blockchain Trilemma: balancing decentralization, scalability, and

Here's a more accessible and human friendly version of the schedule and readings:

Sharing a full college syllabus on High Performance Blockchain Systems - including weekly topics, readings, and assignments. The course assumes no prior blockchain knowledge and covers: - Foundations of blockchain performance - Scaling strategies (Layer 1 as Layer 2) -

Kinda cool that at its core, this is what crypto is

Promises Made, Promises Kept. OMEGA

During @token2049, I noticed something that left a bad taste in my mouth. A panelist gave an excellent analogy—great energy, a natural chuckle. Two days later, at another panel (with another shared panelist) they repeated the analogy... with a chuckle at the same place! I felt

The third key philosophy that sets us apart?​ We're so fucking real. Are we going to get everything right every time? No.​ Are we going to succeed in the end? We'll try our best.​ Are we going to be honest and transparent about everything? Unequivocally.

I think now is probably a good time to clarify that this was just a lighthearted meme in response the tweet below, that it wasn’t meant in bad faith, I do appreciate there is some nuance to what @rushimanche was saying, and just think it’s funny.

Just in!! @0xBreadguy announced the @megaeth_labs public testnet has launched internally!!
